Terrified Bull At NYC Slaughterhouse Decides To Run For His Life

Update: According to Skylands Animal Sanctuary, the bull passed away in transit to the Animal Care Centers (ACC) of New York City. "I'm sorry he didn't make it," the group wrote. An overdose of the tranquilizer is the "likely cause," according to Meredith Turner-Smith, a spokesperson at Farm Sanctuary. "Very sad. He wanted to live so badly and gave it everything he had," she told The Dodo.

A bull was literally running for his life on Tuesday morning through the streets of Queens, New York.

The animal was so scared and determined to escape that even after officials darted him with sedatives, he still kept running.

The bull escaped before 11 a.m. Police cornered the animal in a backyard in Jamaica, Queens, but the animal was so determined to break free that he ran away again.
